Sorry for the long post, so you are warned haha. Just realized my last JFT post was Wed. before hubby and I drove out of town to meet with our financial advisor.

Another couple of busy days. Yesterday was final farmers market of the season, and voted early since I was only blocks from City Hall. After that, my friend PZ picked me up and we went to nearby tourist town to celebrate my bday earlier this month. I didn't log because would've been total guesses. I also enjoyed an adult…

@HappyDonkey75 @pridesabtch Wow, I can't imagine having to overcome those feelings to do something I loved. Good on both of you! I, too, was wondering about Tracie (sp?) @snowflake1968.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. The day was nice, a little more low-key than I was planning due to our dog being with us for the road trip. She is 12 and such a mama's girl that I didn't even try to go into a few places on my own, which hubby was fine with, knowing she would just whine the whole time I'd be out of sight.…

@pridesabtch I'm sorry you're feeling sad, but I want to wish you HaPpY BiRtHdaY! Huge hugs to you!!! @HappyDonkey75 Happy to hear your dad's surgery went well.
